Setting Up A Sexy Valentine’s Table

So ta-da: how I set up a quick ( AKA I DON’T HAVE TIME ), sexy ( shit, I need to buy more lingerie ) Valentine’s for my sweet lover, Michael.

We’re going to be out of town for V-day so we had a little date night last week & I had to think FAST.

Real talk: the actual date night began when the cameras left & I put away my camera ( SHOCKING! ). But this is what I ACTUALLY set up for him ( I know, isn’t he lucky?! I kid, I kid ).

Here’s a quick visual:

Quick, easy Valentine’s date night tips:

♡ Have cookies on hand. I found cute ones at Whole Foods. Next time I’ll go to my nearest bakery because I have a hunch they’re cheaper ( can Whole Foods get anymore expensive? GEESH. ). Or, if you’re a babe on a budget, check out my 2 Minute Flower Cake!

♡ Set the mood with music. As you guys know I LOVVVVVEEEE Brazilian music. I always have it playing around our house so it makes perfect sense for a little Sergio Mendes to be playing on V-Day.

♡ Champagne. Duh. If you don’t drink, then add Kombucha to a wine glass with a little ice & lemon. YUM.

♡ Look HOT! Put some effort into it. This one is hard for me because I’m either in workout clothes or I’m working or…you get it. BUT if you’re hosting a date night, add a little red lip, throw on a dress ( mine usually has wrinkles ), & add a couple curls to your hair.

♡ A little gift never hurt a flea. Nudge, nudge, winky-winky, babe! But really, something cute ( last year I made Michael a scrapbook ) is always fun. Each year he also gets one ( yes, one only ) Conversation Heart that describes him. This year he got ‘WICKED COOL.’ LOL. Last year he got ‘SWEET CHEEKS.’ HA. For some reason this tradition makes me happy.

When I was a kid, our little yorkie got into several ounces of baking chocolate. Baking chocolate!! Like the worst of the worst. She was totally FINE, didn’t even puke once. Isn’t that insane? She was an iron dog.

I’m setting up a little cheese board for V day. I actually got the idea from one of your posts a few weeks ago so thanks. 🙂 Since I don’t like champagne, I’m going for prosecco! Yummm.

So cute and thoughtful!! You are such a good girlfriend. My bf is going to be the one cooking and setting the table this weekend….I know, I am the worst!! Happy V-day!Jill @ Champagne for Everyday recently posted..White Lace + Red Roses – A Valentine’s Classic

Our dog at two pounds of chocolate and assorted other things and had to go to the vet. They pumped him full of saline and he looked like he swallowed a barrel!Clever Girl Reviews recently posted..Review: 14 Hands 2012 Merlot
